on further testing the shell method...

get shell("ditto -rsrcFork "&quote&sourcePath&quote&&quote&destPath&quote)

...suggested by Brian Yennie back in 1983 seems to work wonderfully well. Don't know if I'm imagining things but it also seems to be faster than revCopyFile.

Can someone who's already 'been there' suggest the best solution?


Well, I can't say it's the best solution, but it's working for me:

on copyFile pFile1,pFile2
  delete file pFile2
  switch the platform
  case "win32"
    revCopyFile pFile1,pFile2
    if the result is not empty then answer("revCopyFile failed")
    break
  case "MacOS"
    put "binFile:" & pFile1 into tFile1
    put "binFile:" & pFile2 into tFile2
    put URL tFile1 into URL tFile2
    if the result is not empty then answer("put URL failed")
    break
  default
    answer("platform" && the platform && "needs more coding")
  end switch
end copyFile

Thanks to the gurus who guided me when I had the same problem.

There are a bunch of you in the mid west. Cool.

I was a computer science major / biology major at the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse in the late 70s. Now I feel old. My wife is from St. Paul, so I've driven through Eau Claire many, many times.

Well, there's at least one more! I'm in Eau Claire, WI.
:-)
Say, Jacque Gay (who's in Minneapollis) and I were thinking about trying to organize a midwest Rev users group. If anyone is interested, please contact me off list.
